Peter,
Thanks for the pointer to 'synergy'. I watched some video on its home
page and it looks pretty cool.
Yesterday I hacked down, based on the source of X11' xev(1) application,
some first testclient which also worked and let me last night crontrol
the firefox live streams on the remote host and on its connected TV
screen. Just for the records, it goes mostely like this:
from the modified xev.c:
...
Display *dpy;
Display *rdpy; /* the remote display, i.e. the remote TV */
/* TV-control implemented 'xtele' (based on X11' xev(1))
*
* the idea: control from some laptop screen (1366x768) the full screen
* application running on the external VGA display of some other laptop; the
* picture is like this:
*
* +--------------------+ +--------------------++--------------------+
* | | | || |
* | | | || |
* | 1366 x 768 |=====>| 1366 x 768 || 1920 x 1080 |
* | | | LCD1 || VGA1 |
* | | | || |
* +--------------------+ +--------------------+| |
* | |
* | |
* +--------------------+
*
* this means:
* - we must map the area 1366x768 to 1920x1080, i.e. by a RATIO of 1.4
* - we must right shift the X,Y by adding a SHIFT of 1366 to X value
* - note: the controlling app 'xtele' has an upper border of 20 px, added by
the
* local window manager; so we must add a an UP shift of -20 px
* XXX: can we still reach the TV controls at the button of a full screen
running?

the app has a new arg '-tele host:dpy' which is opened as a 2nd
XOpenDisplay():
int

{
char *displayname = NULL;
char *rdisplayname = NULL;
char *geom = NULL;
...
if (arg[0] == '-') {
switch (arg[1]) {
case 't': /* -tele host:dpy */
if (++i >= argc) usage ("-display requires an argument");
rdisplayname = argv[i];
continue;
...
dpy = XOpenDisplay (displayname);
if (!dpy) {
fprintf (stderr, "%s: unable to open display '%s'\n",
ProgramName, XDisplayName (displayname));
exit (1);
}
/* connect to the remote TV screen */
rdpy = XOpenDisplay (rdisplayname);
if (!rdpy) {
fprintf (stderr, "%s: unable to open display '%s'\n",
ProgramName, XDisplayName (rdisplayname));
exit (1);
}
Cool! :-)
